Abstract

In this paper, we have fabricated by means of the "Micro-Block Stacking (MBS)" method the 8 pin mini DIL integrated Triplexer, which can transmit CATV and voice/data at the same time in a single fiber. Our MBS technique is a novel scheme of compact optical module packaging which secures precision positioning of the components on the optical beam path by prefixed stacks of ceramic blocks. The subassembly in which a laser diode, two receiver photodiodes, two WDM filters, and four micro lenses are integrated is only $5.40mm{\times}2.15mm{\times}1.05mm$ in size. As the Triplexer is aligned to the single mode fiber, the transmitter power of -14.5 dBm and the receiver sensitivities of 0.83 A/W, 0.73 A/W for 1550 nm, 1490 nm, respectively are obtained.

본 논문에서는 정밀 세라믹 부품을 이용한 MBS(Micro-Block Stacking) 방법으로 1550 nm 파장의 아날로그 신호 수신과 1310nm/1490nm 파장의 디지털 신호 송, 수신이 가능한 8 pin mini DIL 형태의 집적형 Triplexer를 제작하였다. 제작된 전체 어셈블리는 $5.40mm{\times}2.15mm{\times}1.05mm$ 크기로 통신용 광모듈 국제 표준인 MSA(Multi Source Agreement) 규격의 SFP(Small Form Pluggable) 광모듈 제작이 가능하다. 자동 능동 광정렬 장비를 사용하여 제작된 집적형 Triplexer를 단일모드 광섬유에 광정렬하였을 때, 1310 nm 송신부 최대 광출력이 -14.5 dBm이었고, 송신부에 의하여 위치가 자동 정렬된 1550 nm와 1490 nm 수신부 수신감도는 각각 0.83 A/W, 0.73 A/W로 단거리 통신에 적용 가능한 값을 얻었다.
